Witness in Ontario photographs “rectangular box-shaped” UFO

A witness in the town of Hamilton in Ontario, Canada can not identify a strange object photographed on July 11, 2017 from an apartment balcony. The witness described the object as “rectangular box-shaped,” and says the object hovered slowly overhead and at one point changed direction.

The witness submitted the report to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) earlier today, along with several pictures the witness took from the witness’ apartment balcony.

The witness claims to have spotted that object at about 4:15 pm. The witness described the object’s movement as “floating” or “sailing” overhead. When it got closer to the witness, the object changed direction. The witness said the object was about the size of a small vehicle, such as a Mini Cooper.

“It looked like a large, rectangular, metallic box,” explained the witness. “How it was airborne, and how it remained so, completely puzzled and mystified me.”

The witness titled the report: “Unidentifiable, 3D rectangular box-shaped object drifting very smoothly over the city.”

On July 11, 2017 at approximately 16:15 – 16:20 hrs., I witnessed an unidentifiable flying/floating object sailing over my area (East Hamilton, Ontario), from my apartment balcony. My balcony faces N/E, toward the bay of Lake Ontario. I stepped out to take a look at the construction crew tearing down an old high school across the road from my building, and to check on the current temperature, when this object caught my eye, drifting at first in my direction (fully south), coming from the north area of the city, closer to the lake. It was fairly large, and I estimated it to be almost the size of an Austin Mini Cooper car. It looked solid/3D, and was rectangular and box-like in shape. The colour was a dark grey, but parts of it appeared to be a lighter grey. It changed direction as it approached my area, turning left, and heading toward the town of Stoney Creek (south-east/east). My neighbourhood is on the border of Stoney Creek, and this object floated away over that town and out of sight. I captured a few photos of it with my mobile phone, but by the time I went into my apartment to get my phone and returned to the balcony with it, the object had moved further away, so the photos don’t show it very well. I had no idea what this object was when I first noticed it, or when it sailed past my location. It looked like a large, rectangular, metallic box. How it was airborne, and how it remained so, completely puzzled and mystified me. I was talking on my house phone (cordless handset) with a friend while all of this was going on, and I remember just laughing slightly when I first saw it, telling her, “Holy CRAP… there’s a UFO heading this way, and by that, I mean an unidentifiable flying object.” Then after it started to turn toward the east I said, “Well, now there’s a large metallic, rectanglar box just sailing past this neighborhood… gonna grab my phone and take some photos.” So I stepped inside, grabbed the phone, and took about a half-dozen photos, before it sailed too far away. I don’t know how to describe my feelings at the time, really… nothing extraordinary, because I had no idea what this object could be. I was just really puzzled/curious, more than anything, because I couldn’t figure out what it was. I’m still wondering about it, and would love to hear if anyone else happened to witness it too, and may have some idea of what it could be?!

The images do show a rectangular-shaped object in the sky. The slow movement would usually indicate something floating in the sky, such as a balloon, and party balloons do come in all shapes and sizes. Balloons do not often seem to make a change in directions, but it is possible if the wind changes direction. However, it is not immediately apparent what the object is.

The vast majority of UFO sightings turn out to be mundane objects, but once in awhile there are sightings that are much more difficult to explain. MUFON conducts investigations on sightings submitted to their website, and if they share their conclusions, we will let you all know. Meanwhile, others will likely chime in and we will try to keep you up to date with any discoveries. Please feel free to share your thoughts on the object in the comments below.

My wife and i were riding in our town around midnight on 10/31/15 to 11/1/15 and we were on the main street. i looked up to the east and witnessed a fireball in the sky about 75 to 80 feet.I noticed it because the ball of fire was extremely bright. living very close to an oil refinery also got my attention because a huge unexplained flame source could cause problems for the refinery. it hovered for about 5 minutes and it manifested into a very intense ball of light that went straight forward, such as what a fighter-type aircraft would do, but the light did not maintain a straight path. it went from level flight to directly vertical. a normal aircraft couldn't do this because it would cause the engines to stall. we followed the beam the best we could throughout town, until the beam made a very sharp turn west, and at that point i had to do some turning around. the beam then went on a westwardly path going from level flight to vertical in a manner that would still stall out any prop…

I was feeling strange like before you are put under for anastasia, then my daughter looked out our bedroom window and said mom that odd noise is coming from that weird looking plane. "she is only 9 and we rarely leave the house." i looked and saw a chrome maybe kind of saucer shaped ship about maybe 45 degrees above the horizon. it had tree glowing really bright lights that were deemed. i told my daughter to take a picture.. before we could get our phones it took off going west over our house. it made a sound like i have never heard before. it was similar to a high pitched hum but felt more like a frequency that caused a vibration with a very low sound radius. i don't know this bothers me cause we don't go out only to get groceries and see the dr and this is going to be at least the 4th maybe 5th object we have seen in the past few years. trust me i'm not looking for these things. also i'm not making a second report, but on my way to my back drs, i saw a chro…

It was royghly a week or so before my brother got back from being abroad, which was on april the forth, so it was end of march, could have been a week up to or the week from the 29th of march. it was a tuesday or thursday.I rember thinking about it as i decided to take the dog for a walk around to the local football pitches. i put my phone on charge and left the house aprox 5.20 and brought the dog to the field. i was bent at one knee about to take the dog off the leash when i looked up and saw a large black craft pass over silently above my head from behind. it did not fly normally, it more sailed or glided. there was no sound, not even a break of air, this craft was well below the cloud level, to a point i could almost reach out and touch it. i was capticated by this, i dont remember standing but i must have done as i followed it, directly under neath it. it was triangular in shape, there were zero edges on the craft, its side and form were perfectly smooth and percision perfect, i …

Bell shaped object (approximately 1' to 2' in length) appeared out of no where in the middle of the night and lit up the side of our home. this was recorded by our ring security camera and time-stamped around 4:48am est. attached are seven (7) video files detailing this hour-long activity. the unknown object would suddenly move around the exterior of our home and then vanish. this repeated itself for an hour! in the final videos, the object can be seen changing from a "solid" object to a translucent object. in the final recorded segment (5:45am), ghost like figures can clearly be seen and "heard" tampering with our security camera. in the very end, you can visually see the ghost like objects leaving (especially when the film is slowed down or freeze framed).
